    <p>September 9 North Rock Hill will launch a new Sunday worship service schedule with 9:30 AM, 11:00 AM, and 6:00 PM worship services.</p>
    <p>This schedule best utilizes our current facility by providing optimal seats at optimal times. New opportunities to
    serve in our Sunday disciple-making environments also open with this new schedule.</p>

    <div class="title"><h5>Why move a service from Sunday morning to Sunday evening?</h5></div>
    <div class="content">
      <p>NRHC’s goal is to provide worship services with optimal seats at optimal times. Each worship service needs to
      be a great opportunity for guests to be invited as well as a desirable time for the NRHC family to worship. Though
      the 8:30 service has faithful attendance, it does not have the ministry potential that 6:00 PM offers. For
      instance, we know that a 6:00 PM service provides a tremendous opportunity to reach Winthrop students.</p>

    <div class="title"><h5>Are additional worship service times anticipated in the future?</h5></div>
    <div class="content">
      <p>We hope to add a 4:30 PM service on Sunday in the near future. This service will provide the opportunity for
      volunteers to serve at one evening worship service and attend the other, just as volunteers currently do with the
      Sunday morning worship services. We believe that having four Sunday worship services at optimal times best
      utilizes our facility without putting an undue burden on staff and volunteers.</p>

    <div class="title"><h5>Would a Saturday evening service be better than Sunday evening?</h5></div>
    <div class="content">
      <p>We have talked to many churches that offer services on Saturday evening, Sunday evening, or both. The one
      statement heard over and over again was that Saturday evening services take a greater toll on staff and volunteer
      leadership than Sunday evening services. For the size of our church, a Sunday evening service seemed wiser. In
      fact we talked to one church that successfully moved it’s Saturday evening service to Sunday evening in order to
      provide a legitimate day of rest to their staff and volunteers.</p>

    <div class="title"><h5>What will happen to North Rock Students?</h5></div>
    <div class="content">
      <p>Student ministries are moving to Wednesday night in August. The Student ministry leadership was actually
      discussing a move from Sunday evening to a weekday evening before the Sunday evening service discussion began.
      Student ministry leadership feels that activities on a weekday evening provide better opportunities to make and
      grow disciples of middle and high school students.</p>

    <div class="title"><h5>What about Sunday evening Journey Groups?</h5></div>
    <div class="content">
      <p>NRHC desires for every person to experience biblical community, and Journey Groups pursue life-changing
      relationships through discussing Scripture, praying, serving, and doing life together.  All of our Sunday evening
      Journey Group leaders are supporting of the Sunday evening worship service and are considering alternative meeting
      times to help make more space in Journey Groups for those who will attend the Sunday evening worship service.</p>
    </div>
  </li>
  <li>
    <div class="title"><h5>Aren’t weekday evening groups difficult for families with young children?</h5></div>
    <div class="content">
      <p>Starting in the fall, all Journey Groups will have childcare reimbursement vouchers available to them. These
      vouchers, when signed by a Journey Group leader, give parents in Journey Groups access to funds to reimburse
      childcare expenses. By offsetting the cost of childcare for families, weekday evening Journey Groups should be
      more attainable. Parents will be able to participate in their Journey Group while knowing that their children are
      being cared for in their home by the childcare provider of their choice.</p> </div>
